In his article, Dr. Drake cites more pros than cons for legalization and touts the potential of thousands of dollars in state revenue from legalization. After hearing several positive anecdotal stories centered around the use of cannabis oil, I see great potential in this industry.

My worry about recreational use is for people with jobs that have random or mandatory drug testing: How do they maintain their employment? Unlike alcohol, THC does not clear the system within hours of use.

There are also other issues that were glossed over or not mentioned in the column such as driving, young children inadvertently getting the laced treats and illegal sellers selling cheaper by skirting the tax issue.
